Since infected people take more than three weeks to show any symptoms, there should be a shutdown of flights and trains and buses from these countries and it should have been done already. These borders should be closed until the epidemic can be brought under control there.
I totally agree.
However, I posted this on an internet forum and this is the response I got:
“Why should we think at all before taking action that could result in trillion dollar losses and a Great Depression that would make the 1930s look like a boom. Just don’t let anyone or anything in or out of the country because we want to prevent about four deaths a year.”
